Hello,
I am new to this Forum and I am currently developing something on a VM on which I don’t have admin rights.
Now to my Issue:
I fetch data from the web and store the link in a DataTable to use it later.
If a certain condition matches the stored Website should open in Firefox.
But If it tries to open the site I get the following Error:
- I checked the extension. Deactivated & Activated it.
- In IE the site opens - but I can’t use IE.
- I fetch the data from an open Firefox Browser so the extension should be fine.
- I work on “Studio 2017.1.6.522 Enterprise Edition”
- I added the site to trusted Websites.
Edit:
I tested the “Open Browser” with the same site locally and it works fine.
So I guess the VM has some different configs which I can not change.
Thank you,
DM
Hi @MaurerDa
If you setup Firefox extension again does it fix the error?
Hi,
thanks for responding, but the issue stays the same:
"Main has thrown an exception
Source: Open browser
Message: Cannot communicate with the browser, please check the UiPath extension.
Exception Type: BrowserOperationException
UiPath.Core.BrowserOperationException: Cannot communicate with the browser, please check the UiPath extension. —> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Cannot communicate with the browser, please check the UiPath extension.
at UiPath.UiBrowserClass.Open(String bstrURL, UiBrowserFlags flag)

at System.Activities.Runtime.BookmarkCallbackWrapper.Invoke(NativeActivityContext context, Bookmark bookmark, Object value)
at System.Activities.Runtime.BookmarkWorkItem.Execute(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager)"
Let’s check together some steps. With Firefox browser open, run UiPath.DiagTool.exe from a console (same folder as UiStudio.exe) and verify that ChromeNativeMessaging.exe is running; You may find this line:
*
Name: ChromeNativeMessaging.exe
Path: … \UiPath\BrowserExtension\ChromeNativeMessaging.exe
Arguments: … \AppData\Local\UiPath\uipath-ff.json extension4ff@uipath.com
If this is not found, navigate to AppData\Local\UiPath\uipath-ff.json and check “path” value, it should point to a valid location where ChromeNativeMessaging.exe is located.
Finally, there should be a valid registry pointing to uipath-ff.json at Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\NativeMessagingHosts\com.uipath.chromenativemsg
This info is also explained here Firefox Extension Troubleshooting
I tried to run UiPath.DiagTool.exe but it crashed:
Next i checked the path and location of “ChromeNativeMessaging,exe” and it matches.
And lastly the registry point is valid.
Any more guesses?
